On the third day of racing at the\u00a02025 UCI Track World Championships<\/a>, Peter Moore (Saint Paul, Minn.) earned the silver medal in the Men\u2019s Points Race, while Anders Johnson (Huntsville, Utah) captured bronze in the Individual Pursuit Finals.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Men\u2019s Points Race<\/p>\n

After finishing fourth in this event last year, Moore\u00a0entered the Points Race with high hopes. The 40km event covered 160 laps, with 16 sprints offering points (1st – 5 pts; 2nd – 3 pts; 3rd – 2 pts; 4th – 1 pt), and riders could also earn 20 points by lapping the field.<\/p>\n

Moore looked strong early, finishing second in both the fifth and sixth sprints. He then joined a lead group of four, including riders from France, the Netherlands, and Mexico, and the group successfully lapped the field. That move put Moore into medal contention with 98 laps remaining.<\/p>\n

He continued to attack, joining riders from Germany and Australia to gain another lap on the field. It was a massive effort, but once the group made contact, Moore added another 20 points to his tally, moving into the race lead.<\/p>\n

From there, it was all about defense. Great Britain\u2019s\u00a0Joshua Tarling\u00a0had gained an early lap and continued to collect sprint points in 10 of the 16 sprints, slowly closing the gap, and gaining points on Moore. Moore fought hard to hold position, ultimately securing\u00a0silver, his\u00a0first Elite World Championship medal, and the first Men\u2019s Points Race medal for the United States.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been thinking about this race since I finished fourth last year, and I just executed perfectly today,\u201d said Moore. \u201cI took two laps, exactly when I needed to. I knew who to follow, played my cards right. I just had no question the whole day. I\u2019m really proud of myself and the preparation that went into this.\u201d<\/p>\n

Results:<\/p>\n

1. Joshua Tarling (GBR) \u2013 56 pts<\/p>\n

2. Peter Moore (USA) \u2013 48 pts\u00a0<\/p>\n

3. Clement Petit (FRA) \u2013 41 pts<\/p>\n

Men\u2019s Individual Pursuit<\/p>\n

Johnson raced the four-kilometer Individual Pursuit, looking to better his performance from last year, finishing eighth with a time of 4:08.623.<\/p>\n

In qualifying, he raced against Portugal, where Johnson overtook the rider and continued racing to one of his fastest times. He clocked a 4:06.793 that was good enough to finish fourth and qualify him for the bronze medal round.<\/p>\n

Johnson went up against James Moriarty (AUS), who rode a 4:05.944 in qualifying. It was going to be a battle for Johnson, but he was ready to take on his first Individual Pursuit Final. He started out strong and the splits were looking promising. Johnson was up by almost two seconds, with Moriarty trying to reel it back in, but it was all Johnson who would cross the line 2.4 seconds ahead, winning the round and the bronze medal.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After the race, Johnson said, \u201cI\u2019ve been wanting to just go better year after year. And have been taking some steps up over the past few years. My goal was to qualify for a medal round. I didn\u2019t know if a medal was in the cards this year. I thought that would be a next year thing, stepping up year over year. It was a really good quality ride, then came into finals, felt a lot of opportunity and didn\u2019t really feel pressure because I had done what I came here for. Then I just went out there and dug as deep as I could. I\u2019m really really thankful for this one.\u201d<\/p>\n

Results:<\/p>\n

1. Josh Carlton (GBR) \u2013 4:04.122<\/p>\n

2. Rasmus Pedersen (DEN) \u2013 4:07.496<\/p>\n

3. Anders Johnson (USA) \u2013 4:08.699<\/p>\n

Women\u2019s Omnium<\/p>\n

Megan Jastrab\u00a0(Apple Valley, Calif.; Team Picnic PostNL) represented Team USA in the Omnium, a four-race event held all throughout the day.<\/p>\n

The first event, the 10km Scratch Race, began with steady pacing as riders traded turns at the front. The pace ramped up in the final laps, and Jastrab sprinted from the bunch to finish 11th.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Two hours later came the 10km Tempo Race, where Jastrab won the third sprint to earn her first point. A breakaway then formed and lapped the field, where they gained 20 points and put Jastrab on the back foot. She finished the event with -19 points, heading into the Elimination Race.<\/p>\n

Jastrab battled in the Elimination race to finish 15th, going into the final Points Race sitting with 40 points. She rode consistently in the final to finish the day 15th overall.<\/p>\n

Results:<\/p>\n

1. Lorena Wiebes (NED) \u2013 136 pts<\/p>\n
